Patriot Bank Earnings Soar 165% in Q1
Deposits Up 32% & Loans Up 30% Year-Over-Year
STAMFORD, CT May 9, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (Patriot, Bancorp) (NASDAQ: PNBK), the parent company of Patriot Bank, N.A. (the Bank), today announced its third consecutive quarter of powerful earnings momentum. Patriot reports first quarter net income of $1,730,000, or $0.44 per diluted share, a towering 165% increase over a year ago. Also, at the end of 2016, Patriot surpassed the three quarters of a billion dollar milestone and continued to demonstrate growth in the first quarter.
First quarter earnings also increased over the prior quarter by 66%. For comparison to prior quarterly periods, the third quarter of 2016 saw $814,000 in net income, or $0.21 per diluted share, while in the fourth quarter Patriot reported $1,045,000 in net income, or $0.27 per share. The current quarter results include the impact of a substantial recovery of a loan that was charged-off last year.
As of March 31, 2017, total assets increased to $775 million, as compared to $757 million at December 31, 2016 and $636 million at March 31, 2016. Net loans totaled $625 million, up 8% over $577 million as of December 31, 2016, and up 30% over $480 million at March 31, 2016.
Deposits grew 6%, or $32 million, to $561 million at March 31, 2017 as compared to $529 million at December 31, 2016 and $424 million at March 31 2016. Deposit growth remains a key initiative to keep pace with Patriots overall growth prospects. Patriot has seen total deposits grow an aggregate of 32% over the last year.
CEO Michael Carrazza stated: Patriots recent jump in performance is a direct result of performance enhancing strategies that we designed and began implementing in the third quarter 2016. The amalgamation of broad-based operational improvements, management changes, asset-class repositioning, and balance sheet reengineering are producing these very positive results, and they remain ongoing. Tackled in this quarter was the successful recovery of a charged-off loan that had been paralyzed in a protracted legal process. Our initiatives support a steady, predictable earnings trend, and our increasing scale will further drive efficiencies.
Mr. Carrazza took operational control of Patriot as interim CEO in August 2016 to execute a series of value-enhancing strategies and to reposition the executive team. The performance in the past three quarters reflects a keenly focused and regimented effort to drive profitability and shareholder value.
Patriots banking platform is on a solid earnings trajectory, which improves each day. Shareholders should benefit from increasing scale, profitability and strategic activities that are intently underway, added Mr. Carrazza.
The loan pipeline remains strong and continued growth is expected. Patriots net interest margin was 3.50% for the first quarter, as compared to 3.75% in the prior quarter and 3.76% in the first quarter of 2016. Net interest income decreased by $343,000, or 6%, as compared to the 4th quarter of 2016, and increased by $109,000, or 2%, compared to the 1st quarter of 2016.
The decline from the fourth quarter reflects the full quarter impact of interest paid on long-term senior debt issued in December of 2016 and also reflects a timing mis-match between loan attrition early in the quarter and new loans that closed late in the quarter.
The provision for loan losses in the quarter was a net credit of $1,749,000, reflecting the previously noted recovery, partially offset by a $1.1 million addition to the Allowance for Loan Loss to reflect the growth in the end of period loan balance. The provision for loan losses was $150,000 in the 4th quarter of 2016 and zero in the 1st quarter of 2016.
Non-interest income decreased by $91,000 or 25%, over last quarter and $133,000, or 32%, below the same period last year. Both comparisons were impacted by a loss of $78,000 recognized on the sale of investment portfolio securities, as the portfolio was intentionally re-positioned to provide future enhancements to profitability.
Non-interest expense increased $280,000, or 6%, over last quarter and declined by $70,000, or 1% compared to the 1st quarter of 2016.
As of March 31, 2017 shareholders equity was $64.4 million, an increase of $1.8 million over December 31, 2016, at $62.6 million. This was a direct result of the reported net income of the first quarter of 2017. The Companys book value per share increased to $16.55 at March 31, 2017 as compared to $16.08 at December 31, 2016 and $15.75 at March 31, 2016.
The Banks capital ratios continue to be strong, as the Bank maintained its well capitalized regulatory status. As of March 31, 2017 Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.65%, Tier 1 risk based capital was 11.09% and total risk based capital was 11.96%.
